Transfer Rumour Sean Longstaff

[kenada_blue]

Not against this at all… love how our fans immediately reject a player because he doesn’t have a foreign name. He’s young, has premier league experience and probably would relish a new challenge after maybe going stale at a club that’s gone stale. As stated previously people were against the signings of Barry
and Mcarthy … both turned out to be great signings for us (before McCarthy’s injuries)… don’t write a player off before he’s even pulled a shirt on.

He's being rejected cos he's rubbish. He's pure squad fodder.

He's nowhere near McCarthy or Barry's level either.

Sigurdsson - Prison/Free

Something doesn't seem right with that!

Add zero to the team IMO. Doesn't add quality on the pitch, just bolsters a squad with a footballer who isn't injured and can run about.

The whole point of transfers is to improve, replace, or add to a squad. You get Longstaff you're just adding not improving.

Well, we can't do much about it. If you're right it'll be made worse when Benitez is punted too, if he drops off under other managers.

Anyone seen a decent highlights reel with a bowel-clearing dubstep soundtrack?

He played against Utd just a week ago and got an assist?

We need a squad mate! The reason Doucoure gets stress fractures and DCL is picking up mucle injuries a lot more frequently is because we rely on the same core players having to play 90 minutes week in week out as half our bench can not stay fit!

Gbamin
Tosun
Delph
Gomes
Mina

None of those players can keep fit for an extended period of time which means come the hectic Xmas period, the cup games and europe if we ever qualify we have to play the same players!!

We haven't got the FFP leg room to throw £150+ million on bringing in a new squad we have to be shrewd with our dough.

You have Siggurdsson and Delph out of contract in the summer - wheres the money to replace them two?

Its a smart signing for anyone who actually understands our financial/squad situation.

Then wait till the summer when he is on a free. Not giving them one of our best player in return of some money and Longstaff.

And you know this how ? Roy Keane was in a forest midfield that got relegated … should United have written him off ?

Steer well clear of anyone who's had a cruciate injury.

Perhaps, like in the summer, its a statement of intent to ensure he doesn't renew.

Have a feeling if this transfer is done, it'll be late in the window.

No doubt Benitez has been in his ear too. This was from the other year;

"I was speaking to Rafael (Benitez) throughout the summer, and ultimately I think everyone wanted him to stay," Longstaff said. "But that's football. Things change, and ultimately he didn't want to stay.

Well it looks like Uncle Bill is in charge of transfer negotiations , which means Newcastle will praise us us for our lovely approach to the deal , we’ll pay £35 million and he’ll come back having signed younger brother Matty Longstaff .Tis the Everton way ?‍

 

[Trublue12]

We should only be signing him on our terms. The days of huge wages for bang average players need to be over.

I agree, just pointing it out that seems to be the way it works.

It's very concerning if you go stale at Newcastle.

Hope I am wrong about him. When Rafael is sacked we have another unwanted player who probably signs a long contract and the club will struggle to get rid. Very underwhelming. It’s like Martinez went back to Wigan and sign a couple of crap players.

lol

Longstaff doesn't get a game....there's a difference.

They were phenomenal players!
